Pumpkin Croissants: These look beyond delicious, but there are two other great things about these sinful little puffs: You can use canned crescent rolls, and they're small enough that you can eat more than one and not feel bad about it.

If you are one of those people that's all "Pumpkin! How incredibly overdone and disingenuous and non-yummy!" then prepare to be converted. We're not saying pumpkin pie and pumpkin spice lattes and other such gourd-inspired noshes aren't awesome, it's just that, well, there's so much more potential here! Pumpkin enchiladas? Curry? Yes and yes. Always yes.

This holiday, surprise your fam or guests with some unique pumpkin concoctions and they may forget all about that pumpkin pie! (No, they will not).
